Simply..fitter....

25/1/2019

Imperfect and erratic though it is my effort at getting fitter is paying off. It's harder in winter to lose a few pounds and motivate myself to move, but there is a reason why my swimsuit is hanging on the bedroom mirror.,...

At no particular time and in no specific sequence I have been doing some 5 minute HIT sessions, some 15 minutes yoga/ballet work, some 15 minute Louise Parker sessions, some breathing exercises (30 deep breaths whenever I remember), drinking more water and eating good food but not too much. Results? A tiny bit lighter, a very tiny bit firmer and quite a lot more stamina and energy (given that it is January!) To paraphrase FlyLady even imperfect exercise blesses your body.  It is no fee/no equipment/no specialclothes/no travel/ and minimum time. (It's also no company which could be a good reason for joining a class but that's not so easy if you live out in the sticks.)

It does make me wonder what I might achieve if I really put some effort into it!

It might be worth really trying and finding out...

Someday!


I heard Robyn Stapleton sing this at Glasgow Unversity yesterday, so for Burn's Night here she is.

Enjoy..

I'm guessing loch dips are NOT the reason your swimsuit is hanging on the mirror! Well done for persevering! I have a similar approach to housework... if I let myself do it imperfectly I get a lot more done with a lot less protest! Wouldn't it be interesting if the words perfect and imperfect were completely removed from our language and psyche...?

Indeed it would Lotta. Imperfect is fine.

Very encouraging news. I read similar on Elizabeth Musgrave's site Welsh Hills Again. Do you know her? I must do more than sit back and approve of other people's efforts though!

Elizabeth sounds a lot more ambitious than me (but maybe just as reluctant at times?) Thanks for the intro to this nice blog Lucille.

Exhausted just looking at the exercises. Just as well you added a beautiful song to relax with. Ae Fond Kiss.... Don't think I heard this
wonderful version before, my first time hearing it sung was by The Corries.

She has the most lilting voice and the accompanists are wonderfully balanced. Relaxing because she makes it seem effortless.

Every little bit helps they say - I should get motivated - I feel it has been a lazy January this year where my fitness is concerned - too much going on at the moment.
